First apologies as I tend to avoid these kid of threads as I'm a normally get on with it kind of guy. However I thought I would/need to ask the advice from people more clued up then me.
I have a bit of a odd year. End of last year we got a morgage and bought a house. Then got made redundant early this year, but went in to business with a friend. We will call this business A, we are both 50% directors in the company, basically it was his idea and I would just do the work he would look after all the contract/legal/admin etc along with his work.
Its not work that I enjoy that much but do it to keep money coming in. As I am only contracted to work x amount of hours with that company I have set up another company with another director 50% each doing things that I want to do.
Now if everything was perfect this would work fine. However I spend lots more time sorting out business A than I should and am really neglecting Business B which is what I really want to be concentrating on. Business A has a few contracts that are running out in a few months time, which I do not want to renew and at which point I will sell my shares and leave company A.
That was the plan.
The past few months have been a bit rough on me, to cut a long story short we have had 2 miscarriages. The last one been this week involving a stop in hospital. I rearranged my working hours with my clients who were all ok with it. Told my other director id be off work for a few days, no oh you ok or anything.
Turned on computer today to find a email containing another mess up from him. I have also heard other stuff that is not filling me with confidence right now.
So OC what should I do?
